	JUST JOKES. GOOD SONg. I mISs It.

No Picture Eric Rhythm Player	#2 by Eric at Oct 29, 1982 at 2:15 AM EST
	Nevermind, I googled it.

No Picture wrath Average	#3 by wrath child at May 3, 1984 at 10:45 PM EST
	This, to me, is one of the weakest Zeppelin tunes. It just, well, bores me out. I have to say that I enjoy the early Zeppelin better than the late. Not that the late Zeppelin are bad in any way, but in their early years they were the best band to have ever went on stage. Maybe it's just because I absolutely despise country music. Nonetheless, I think most of the second disc of Physical Graffiti is just pure filler, highlighted by only some good songs.

No Picture Johannes Wanna Be	#4 by Johannes e at Sep 30, 1986 at 5:57 PM EST
	actually, adman i doubt you saw them play it live because it was never played live, i'm not saying you didn't see them but here is the setlist for the show you are talking about: 04/23/1977 Atlanta, Georgia - The Omni 1. The Song Remains The Same 2. The Rover (intro) / Sick Again 3. Nobody's Fault But Mine 5. In My Time of Dying 6. Since I've Been Loving You 7. No Quarter 8. Ten Years Gone 9. Battle of Evermore 10. Going to California 11. Black Country Woman 12. Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp 13. White Summer / Black Mountain Side 14. Kashmir 15. Moby Dick 16. Guitar Solo 17. Achilles Last Stand 18. Stairway To Heaven 19. Rock And Roll 21. Trampled Underfoot

No Picture Niko Average	#5 by Niko Booth at Dec 11, 1989 at 10:49 PM EST
	I saw them in Atlanta and they played it live. In 1977...one of the last couple of dates before Plant's son died and the tour was cancelled. It is definitely one of my favorites.

No Picture Cody Average	#6 by Cody (none of your buisness....stalker) at Apr 14, 1993 at 9:04 AM EST
	Okay. I SORT OF see what you're trying to say. I guess the difference between us is our appreciation of disc 2. In addition to your selections I also love "Night Flight" and "Black Country Woman". Even "Sick Again" has a pretty decent riff to it. Oh, and of course there's "Down By the Seaside" (the whole point of this conversation!) which is PERFECT! But hey, I absolutely agree with you on the country music thing. Hate is NOT too strong a word, trust me (I watch the Shania Twain videos with my finger on the Mute button!). But, somehow, it all just sounds soooo different when Zeppelin pull it off!

No Picture Bill Lead Player	#7 by Bill at Apr 18, 1994 at 2:19 PM EST
	I'm shocked there are no comments for this song. In my opinion this by far one of the best Zep III songs. The melody alone makes my head spin with memories of days ago. I especially love the comparison of past to present, the soothing country to the hectic life of the city, and how too many people forgot how to take in a beautiful day and just relax with nature abound. I love every Led Zep song but this is top of my favorites list.

No Picture Lauren Rhythm Player	#8 by Lauren A at Sep 13, 2006 at 7:59 AM EST
	This would hav to be the worst song on Physical Graffiti. Its a mess of a song IMO. Corny lyircs, boring chord progression, overly long. I can see why it didnt make "Houses of the Holy".
